"The Glory of MinXus" - 1st MinXus Refrigerator Exhibition - Wakoshi, May 11th 2012

[Marie Wintzer]

Le Manoir aux Visons is very happy to answer Dark wall's call for the first MinXus-LynXus performance score. The exhibition took place here in Wakoshi at the Manoir, May 11th 2012, 7.15pm-7.30pm local time and was a flying success. At least in my mind :-)) As a curator, I wanted to focus on classic pieces I consider essential in the evolution and history of MinXus. They will be presented in chronological order of reception.

1) Boy's day - from RCBz (November 2010)

Setting the standards of aesthetics, sleekness, the care for details, and the love of a dark twist.

2) Blisspo - from De Villo Sloan (January 2011)

Asemic writing and vispo as essential elements of MinXus art. And the highly symbolic feet, of course...

3) Le Saut dans le Vide - from Bifidus Jones (February 2011)

The leap in the void, fantastic card that really got holism to kick off.

4) Stations of the Cross, part 5, The Desolation Angel in the Ruined Theater of Fluxus - from Dark wall (March 2011)

Poetry through vispo epics, adventures in a world of fantasy (he won't like me saying this) and magic. Without Dark wall no Manoir aux Visons.

5) Let them eat biscuit - from Grigori Antonin (April 2011)

Marie-Antonette, let them eat aesthetics... MinXus would not be the same without Grigori.

6) Gerald - from Cheryl Penn (July 2011)

Gerald is a permanent member of the fridge collection. He has been sent to help me with chores like onion chopping and the such, and is doing a fab job.

7) What? Why? No! - from Svenja Wahl (August 2011)

The successful combination of text and photography/image in visual poetry.

8) That wooden doll - from Diane Keys (November 2011)

Coat and fur. MinXus and Trashpo can never be completey dissociated.

9) Ignore this, it's just a fridge magnet from Switzerland (2010 I think)

[De Villo Sloan]

A complaint has been filled. The new socialist regime will no doubt be sympathetic to my plight. I urge others to lodge complaints:

You put Antonin near Gerald the monkey. That was a wise a choice. I cannot allow myself to believe the Empress Marie conspired and defaced one of the truly great masterpieces of MinXus.

[De Villo Sloan]

I didn't want to say anthing yesterday, but it does look like "The Ruined Theater of Fluxus" has been defaced. We think this might be related to Grigori Antonin's inclusion in the show. I do hope this was not some sort of campaign to make Dw's work appear inferior in the MinXus community.

[De Villo Sloan]

The NY show suffered an incident. "The Ruined Theater of Fluxus" must be returned to the US. I am contacting the French Embassy.

Thanks for showing this, Marie, great show. I was on my way to the airport to attend but by the time I got my boarding pass the reviews were already in the papers and it was over. Next time I'll read the opening hours!

That's just trash, Dw. NOT Minxus!

Great exhibit!! My doll took it laying down. Did you serve hors d'oevres? Was there violin music playing? This is very inspiring. Like Cheryl, I feel like doing one as well. Great job Marinx!
